[Q] Notification sound w/ Headset plugged in - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know how to turn off the notification sound through the speakers when a headset is plugged in? Looked throught the usual setting and nothing jumped out. Thanks.

answer
Press and hold the power\lock button to mute everything except the media sound after plugging in your headset. All of the sound settings will return to your previous settings when you unplug your headset.
This appears to be an Android bug and others are also using "SoundAbout" from the play store to work around this issue of automatically muting the external speaker when you plug in your headset.

Adjust volume when plugging in a headset

Hi!
I use my Touch Pro quite a bit for music and I use my regular 3,5mm headphones along with an HTC adapter. Only thing that is really bothering me is that when I plug them in and start playing music, the volume is loud as freaking hell! I have it on max when I use the phone normally, and when I plug in my headphones I wish I didnt have to always remember to adjust the volume before playing music and adjusting it back up again when I'm done.
Anyone know of a smart tweak or way to fix this?
Cheers!

A2DP with Topaz problems

OK, so i've paired up an A2DP bluetooth headset with my topaz...most things work well, if not great. but there are 2 slight problems: 1) sometimes when i press play on my headset, the screen turns on and doesn't lock. i've already clicked so many things in my pocket by mistake when that happened. and i set the phone to lock when i push the power/stand-by button...but that doesn't work when the bluetooth is connected(works fine when it's not). 2) i usually have my phone on vibrate, but that turns both the ringer and system volume down...so i have to turn off single volume and turn up the system volume...finee..but the settings won't stay. when i take it out of vibrate, both ringer and system volume is at 100%(good) but when i turn on vibrate again, both volumes go back down to 0%(bad) instead of what i wanted, which is: when in vibrate mode, ringer volume can be 0% but system volume has to be at 100% in order to listen to music through my headphones. any help would be very much appreciated!!

Bluetooth Sound Volume Low (In Call)

I have a chinese Dual Sim card phone running 2.3.4 Android. The specific model is Star a919. My main issue at the moment is bluetooth volume seems to be very low even at max volume. I am trying to get the bluetooth volume to increase so I can hear the person on the other end.
Here is what I have tried:
1. turning volume down via button, rebooting phone with battery pulled out, then adjusting volume on headset itself when phone powers on.
2. Adjusting both headset and in call bluetooth volume
3. Volume+ (various settings for both incall and bluetooth)
4. Adding up to 100 steps in volume+ for in call quality
I am running out of idea's here. If anyone has something else I could try that may work i'm all ears.

Low bluetooth volume

First off, I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere.
I have a Lexus CT200H and when I have the phone connected to the internal phone/audio I can hardly hear person on the other end of the line regardless of how high I have the volume turned up on the car or the phone.
Any ideas?

Similar issue with my 2012 Mazda 3. I can't change the in-call volume on my phone (Verizon Galaxy S3). So I have to turn the volume all the way up on the Mazda BT to (barely) hear the call.
I'm using the volume buttons, and on the phone screen it shows the BT volume icon and slider going all the way up, but the volume thru the Mazda is unchanged.
Same thing occurs with my wife's HTC Incredible 2. I adjust the BT in-call volume up and down, but there is no effect on the actual volume.
Both phones ARE able to adjust the BT in-call volume on a BlueAnt ST3 unit, so I know the phones are OK.
Surprisingly, for music streaming, I *am* able to adjust the music volume on the phone. But not the in-call volume.
So troutbeck27, when using the volume keys, do you see the BT icon next to the volume slider? Do you hear ANY difference between a low/high volume setting on your phone? And are you able to change your media streaming volume on your phone?
Anyone else have this issue with the in-call BT volume being non-adjustable?
Install the app called "Volume+" to boost the volume of the bluetooth device.
had the same issue and the work around is to turn off the headset button on the phone and turn it back on. That will fix the problem.

I tried:
-turning off bluetooth (at the system level) and turning it back on
-turning off/on bluetooth during the call (i.e., switching from car BT to handset and back again)
Neither of those resulted in allowing volume adjustments...did I understand your suggestion correctly?
Thanks.
I'm having similar bluetooth volume issues, my head unit is the DEH-P9400BH.
Running Cyanogenmod10-nightly.
The phone will output to its speaker, or headphones just fine, but the moment I pair it to my car's had unit, and bluetooth takes over, the audio is much quieter. Specifically the bass signals don't appear to be passed from phone to car.
I've tried unpairing from the phone, from the car, deleting the profiles of the car from phone and phone from car. I've tried unpairing while bluetooth was in use playing music. Tried lowering the volume levels and raising them again (as that seemed to work once before).
I have a feeling that the phone's master volume setting is set lower when bluetooth connects, and I'm find a hard time finding that control, as the volume key controls the bluetooth volume settings while bluetooth is activated.
Any ideas?
Thanks for reading!
Edit: bluetooth audio has worked before without too many problems. This is a recent thing, maybe a week old.

Bluetooth volume memory not always working

Hello
I have a OP7Pro and I use regularly 3 Bluetooth devices, my car (where the volume from the phone has to be maxed), on-ear headphones with anc (where volume should be much lower) and on-ear headphones (where the volume should be low).
I identified that lots of times, with the new features of Android P, the volume is remembered from device to device but sometimes it is not, and after using the Bluetooth with the car, the volume of the on-ear headphones is maxed which kills my ears...
Does this happen to someone else? Is it a known bug? Is there a solution for this?
Bump I have this stupid annoying issue the same. My volume is the same across the border same volume level for music in calls speaker etc
Mine also, doesn't remember my Bluetooth prior volume setting's. It defaults back to Max volume...
If you have bt absolute volume enabled, the phone will take the setting of the device it is connected to. Not sure that helps entirely though.
